Strategic Centre – Shrewsbury Strategic Centre – Shrewsbury Location 1 Summary of Settlement Study Area and Location The city of Shrewsbury is the Strategic Centre of Shropshire as defined in the Shropshire Pre-Submission Draft Local Plan (2020). The study area boundary as defined within this Green Infrastructure Strategy is a 2km offset from the settlement limits. Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire and the County’s Strategic Centre. It is located within the central part of north Shropshire 20km east of Telford, The settlement will play a key role in supporting Shropshire’s housing and economic growth aspirations to 2036. The town centre is almost completely surrounded by the meandering River Severn. Shrewsbury Town Council covers 3,799ha, encompassing the proposed Community Hubs of Baschurch, Bayston Hill, Bicton, Bomere Heath, Cross Houses, Dorrington, Ford, Hanwood, Longden, Minsterley, Nesscliffe and Pontesbury as well as numerous smaller villages and hamlets, many of which have opted in as Community Clusters according to the Local Plan Review. Shrewsbury has a population density of 18.9 people per hectare. As part of the Shrewsbury Place Plan, the settlement has been identified as requiring additional levels of growth over the Plan period to 2036. This would include 3,645 dwellings (which makes a total of 8,625 including commitments) and 50ha employment land (which makes a total of 91 Ha including commitments). The Pre-Submission Draft Local Plan (2020) discusses the growth picture for the town to date, setting out a provision of around 8,625 new dwellings and 100ha of employment land between 2016-2038. Proposed Allocation sites are predominantly located within the A5 / A49 ring road limit. These are generally located at the outskirts of the town, at Upper Edgebold to the south west, Gains Park to the west, Meole Brace Retail Park to the south, Ellesmere Road to the north, Sundorne Road and Preston Boats Roundabout to the east and Lyth Hill Road and Oakmeadow in Bayston Hill.

The SAMDev supports the development of the Shrewsbury South and Shrewsbury West Sustainable Urban Extensions (SUE's) provided that the development delivers the scale and type of development appropriate to planning policy CS2 and the development has regard to the principles of the SUE masterplans adopted by the Council. One of the aspirations of the Shrewsbury Big Town Plan2 is to encourage housing and commercial development in and around the town centre to compliment the delivery of the afore-mentioned new development on the edge of the town. This aspiration responds directly to the need to enhance physical connectivity between places and re-think the role of town centres. The Shrewsbury Big Town Plan (2019) discusses the following aims in relation to Green Infrastructure: – To connect up the wider greenspace network across the town, making new green links where possible and improving existing links and green corridors; – To make much more of the River Severn corridor and its tributary valleys and brooks that form key green spaces within the heart of the urban area; – To ensure that new development, wherever it is planned, delivers better quality and strategic greenspace that connects to our existing green spaces and proposed new corridors. _________________________________________________ 2 Shrewsbury Big Town Plan, 2019 3 The River Severn at Quarry Park and Dingle Garden Views towards Berwick Park from PRoW 0443/112/1 The Old River Bed SSSI Battlefield Heritage Park 4 Existing Green Infrastructure Assets and Key Constraints 5 Existing Green Infrastructure Assets and Constraints Theme Existing Green Infrastructure Assets / Constraints Biodiversity Designated Sites ◼ Nationally designated sites within the study area include Hencott Pool SSSI which also incorporates Midland Meres and Mosses Phase 2 Ramsar site. This site has been noted as ‘Unfavourable Recovering’ in the north and ‘Unfavourable No Change’ in the southern part. Conditions are as a result of inappropriate water levels and water pollution combined with inappropriate management which may cause damage to the fen, marsh and swamp habitat for which it is designated. ◼ Bomere, Shomere and Betton Pools SSSI to the south of Shrewsbury is designated for its standing open water. This incorporates Midland Meres and Mosses Phase 1 Ramsar site. The condition of this SSSI is noted as ‘Unfavourable Recovering’. ◼ The River Severn at Montford SSSI meanders through a very small section of the study area to the west and is currently in a ‘Favourable’ condition. ◼ The Old River Bed is the fourth SSSI within the study area and is the only one within the settlement boundary. It is located north of the centre of Shrewsbury and is recorded as being in ‘Favourable’ condition. According to Natural England, the site continues to hold a range of floodplain fen communities and exhibits a range of vegetation types according to hydrological gradient. Main threats include accumulation of litter, scrub growth and nutrient enrichment. ◼ SSSI Impact Risk Zones associated with SSSIs as detailed above cover the full extent of the study area and relate to larger residential developments, such as those of 50 units and above. Key Theme 1: Biodiversity and ◼ Rea Brook Valley LNR is located to the south of Shrewsbury town centre. It is the largest site Geology managed by Shrewsbury Town Council's Countryside Unit and runs from the centre of Shrewsbury town towards the southern suburbs at Meole Brace. The LNR accommodates the Rea Brook Circular Walk. ◼ There are several non-statutory LWS designations located throughout the study area. These are predominantly linked to other ecological designations. Exceptions to this include the entire River Severn Corridor, Alkmond Park and Sundorne Pool. Many of these sites are existing green corridors linking with Shrewsbury town centre. Notable and Priority Habitats ◼ Ancient and Semi-Natural Woodlands are located at Hawksmoor / Waits Coppices on the northern boundary of the study area, woodlands at Battlefield, Abbey Wood / New Coppice to the east, Betton Coppice and Bowmere Pool to the south and Woodcote Coppice to the west. ◼ Ancient Replanted woodland is located at Alkmond Park Coppice, Betton Coppice, Woodcote Coppice and Kesters Coppice. ◼ Priority Habitats are dominated by Deciduous Woodland, found in small sections throughout the study

  • The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2015
    The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2015 is an index calculated from 37 indicators measuring deprivation in its broadest sense. The overall IMD 2015 score combines scores from seven areas (called domains), which are weighted as follows: • Income (22.5%) • Employment (22.5%) • Health and disability (13.5%) • Education, skills and training (13.5%) • Barriers to housing and services (9.3%) • Crime (9.3%) • Living environment (9.3%) Overall in 2015, Shropshire County was a relatively affluent area and was ranked as the 129th most deprived County out of all 149 Counties in England. The IMD is based on sub-electoral ward areas called Lower level Super Output Areas (LSOAs), which were devised in the 2001 Census. Each LSOA is allocated an IMD score, which is weighted on the basis of its population. There were 32,844 LSOAs in England; of these only 9 in Shropshire County fell within the most deprived fifth of all LSOAs in England. These LSOAs were located within the electoral wards of Market Drayton West, Oswestry South, Oswestry West, in North Shropshire; Castlefields and Ditherington, Harlescott, Meole, Monkmoor and Sundorne in Shrewsbury and Ludlow East in South Shropshire. To get a more meaningful local picture, each LSOA in Shropshire County was ranked from 1 (most deprived in Shropshire) to 192 (least deprived in Shropshire). Shropshire LSOAs were then divided into local deprivation quintiles which are used for profiling and monitoring of health and social inequalities in Shropshire County (1 representing the most deprived fifth of local areas and 5 the least). Figure 1 shows the most deprived areas shaded in the darkest colour – these tend to be situated around the major settlements in Shropshire.

At its heart is the Heritage at Risk Register, an online database containing details of each site known to be at risk. It is analysed and updated annually and this leaflet summarises the results. Heritage at Risk teams are now in each of our nine local offices, delivering national expertise locally. The good news is that we are on target to save 25% (1,137) of the sites that were on the Register in 2010 by 2015. From St Barnabus Church in Birmingham to the Guillotine Lock on the Stratford Canal, this success is down to good partnerships with owners, developers, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), Natural England, councils and local groups.
